The Australian Catholic Bishops have invited us during the Year of Youth to take up the challenge of Pope Francis to strap on our boots, move beyond our comfort zone and to explore New Horizons for sharing joy and meaningfully engaging with young people.

In this ‘New Horizons’ series, you will find examples of programs and initiatives currently being run in Australia that are reaching New Horizons in their engagement and dialogue with young people. You may just be inspired to reach out in similar ways in your local community.

If you would like to share a program or initiative that is reaching our through New Horizons in your community setting, we would love to hear from you. Please e-mail: resources.youth@catholic.org.au
